Italian journos coming to terms with pre match Scottish brunch of black pudding and square sausage in press room

lol

Square sausage I can just about forgive... but black pudding...

 

[Howe_zat]

This game has been arse so far. Good defends but poor handling and set pieces make for a lot of mess while we wait for one side to construct an attack

Relying on phone updates for the Scotland/Ireland game. At the hairdressers and even though it's in Yorkshire, there's no talk of rugby amongst these ladies...

Canna's placekicking is all kinds of gash. Squandered two very kickable penalties.

10-6 looks a lot different to 10-0.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Matty Scott deserved that. Made the original break, didn't panic with an ambitious offload and is Johnny On-the-spot for Hogg ' s tap back.

 

[vogue]

15-0 half time. Why do Italy do this ?. Miss easy opportunities.

 

[Howe_zat]

In the second 20 Italy completely let this slide which is 20 minutes earlier than usual. Can't see anything but a pasting now.

Throw in potato scone and you've got 3 items far better than anything the English put on a plate.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Italy ' s backs are just...there.

How haven't they scored there?

 

[Howe_zat]

15 behind, 16 points chucked away. It's possible they've been cursed?

 

[Howe_zat]

Esposito making a late bid for the ****e team of the tournament is my best guess

 

[BoyBrumby]

Try for me. And the TMO too.

Haven't heard Visser referred to as "the Flying Dutchman" once. Admirable restraint from the comms.

Yes. Yes they have!!

22-0 sigh

 

[BoyBrumby]

When you're giving up pens at the scrum to this Scottish pack it's really not your day.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bonus for yer Sweaties.

They've not actually been that great today. Haven't had to be.

 

[Howe_zat]

Italy's really need a game or two against Georgia to remind people they're actually above that level.

 

[Howe_zat]

Try for me. And the TMO too.

His brother Sep Visser is playing for Netherlands against Switzerland today

 

[Howe_zat]

If you thought Jonathan Davies was bad before, we've now got Davies with a lost voice gasping through commentary.

Good to see France get on the board early, maybe if Wales are losing Jiffy will decide he's too ill

 

[Howe_zat]

Haha this is great. Both sides looking to play some ball and the French offloading like crazy.
